Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR PN 17 N005
The Upper Salmon Sub-basin Anadromous Fish Habitat Improvements opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR PN 17 N005) is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Bureau of Reclamation expects to be actively involved with the recipient during project implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program sits in the Natural Resources funding area under CFDA 15.517 and focuses on on-the-ground habitat and passage work intended to improve survival for anadromous fish, especially during the spawning and juvenile rearing stages when habitat conditions and connectivity are critical.
The underlying purpose of the work is to implement targeted habitat improvements across tributary sub-basins where Reclamation provides technical assistance, spanning parts of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Within those sub-basins, projects are selected and carried out to meet specific, measurable performance goals. The main metrics emphasized in the announcement include: installing or upgrading fish screens so they meet current criteria (to reduce entrainment of fish into diversions), restoring spawning and rearing access by removing fish passage barriers (such as undersized culverts, diversion structures, or other obstructions), achieving instream flow targets (to ensure adequate water quantity for fish life stages and seasonal needs), and increasing the number of stream miles with improved channel complexity (often meaning habitat features like pools, large woody material, side channels, and more varied channel form that support rearing and refuge).
For the Upper Salmon Sub-basin specifically, the Custer Soil and Water Conservation District is identified as a key local partner that coordinates and sponsors habitat improvement and fish passage activities. The role described for Custer centers on practical project delivery needs: coordinating with landowners to secure access and cooperation, helping with environmental permitting, and managing construction coordination along with contributing funding support. This emphasis reflects how habitat work in working landscapes typically depends on landowner participation and careful alignment with permitting requirements and construction windows.
The award information included in the notice indicates a single expected award with a ceiling of $180,000. Eligibility is listed for nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was created on August 3, 2017, with an original closing date of August 17, 2017, signaling a short application window at the time it was posted. Overall, the grant is structured to fund partner-driven, metric-based actions in the Upper Salmon Sub-basin that measurably improve fish passage, reduce mortality risks at diversions, support adequate flows, and enhance habitat complexity for spawning and juvenile rearing.Apply for BOR PN 17 N005
